Wicked! Kitchen coconut and pineapple bake

When will I learn.... This is a new pastry that is now on sale from Wicked! Kitchen and I have been mostly deeply disappointed with everything they have made so far, so I don't know why I thought this would be better. Usually their desserts are better than the actual meals they have to offer, … Continue reading Wicked! Kitchen coconut and pineapple bake →

PSA: Pumpkin Spice is back!!

Nothing signals the start of Autumn more than the return of the pumpkin spice latte. Or just pumpkins in general really. I must admit I can't remember the last time I actually ate a pumpkin - they're normally only available during Halloween and even then, they're the HUGE pumpkins that are made for carving - … Continue reading PSA: Pumpkin Spice is back!! →

Can vegans support zoos?

I want to have a discussion with you all, because it is something that I have been very interested in for some time. When I was at university I actually did a whole dissertation on whether zoos were good or bad for animal welfare. I went in thinking that there was no way that zoos … Continue reading Can vegans support zoos? →

Slug and Lettuce chocolate orange tart

Another little treat from my Slug and Lettuce venture the other day. As I mentioned in my mac'n'cheeze post their vegan menu is pretty good and also just a bit more decadent than your usual pub food. Needless to say I was very excited to try this little baby! Now I don't know if it … Continue reading Slug and Lettuce chocolate orange tart →

Vegan Kit Kat

I finally found the motherload!! I have heard that these were a thing but had never been lucky enough to find one. The only reason I even got this one is because one of my lovely work colleagues got lucky at her local Sainsbury's. Apparently you should be able to find them in m,ost supermarkets, … Continue reading Vegan Kit Kat →

BOL spanish bean and Veg Paella

Another hectic week thanks to the British bank Holiday, so I had to grab myself a lunch in between client meetings. I am currently trying to focus on more whole food recipes, and to eat less processed goods, so I thought this BOL pot would be better for me than a Pot Noodle. I was … Continue reading BOL spanish bean and Veg Paella →

Little Moons mochi ice cream: mango and passionfruit

I have never had mochi before, but I have seen everyone online raving about how great these little ice cream mochi balls are. Now I know that mochi is usually made from rice, and is mixed with sugar, fruit or other sweet things to make little dessert balls. They are originally from Japan and in … Continue reading Little Moons mochi ice cream: mango and passionfruit →

In the Mood Cafe: Passionfruit cake

This little cafe is located around the corner from where I work, and yet every time I go past it, it is either absolutely rammed busy or closed. They are a completely vegan cafe, serving cakes, drinks and various hot meals which I believe are changed seasonally. When I visited they had some curry dishes … Continue reading In the Mood Cafe: Passionfruit cake →

McDonald’s vegan burger

I know I know...McDonald's is terrible. But sometimes it is the only option available to you, especially when you need something quick and cheap. There is also a McDonald's every 200 metres in most places so it seems that they will always be available. This is also the first McDonald's I have had in...years. Literal … Continue reading McDonald’s vegan burger →

The Enchanted Tearoom – Vegan afternoon tea

There is always something so decadent about an afternoon tea. I always feel like a true Lady when I go to one, and it makes me feel all posh and regal: Like I am in my very own Bridgerton episode. Since going vegan though I have only been able to find one other vegan afternoon … Continue reading The Enchanted Tearoom – Vegan afternoon tea →
